D-(+)galactose is an important medium, synthetic component in enzymatic and biochemical studies. It is also widely used in the pharmaceutical field, both as a carrier and as an active substance.White crystals, soluble in methanol, ethanol, DMSO and other organic solvents, derived from animal tissues and milk.As a component of the galactosyltransferase labeling buffer, growth of Lactobacillus supplemented in MRS broth induces the expression of uncoupling protein (UCP) in yeast transformation.For organic synthesis, for the determination of liver function in medicine. D-galactose is particularly important as a precursor for pharmaceutical active substances, active substance carrier or as a chiral module in chemical synthesis. However, in the large-scale synthesis of galactose from lactose, there is always the problem of BSE-/TSE contamination.
Derivatized, high-purity, low-endotoxin galactose was developed specifically for biopharmaceutical use to produce products free from allergen contamination, for example, it has been used as a key ingredient to optimize protein production while reducing lactic acid and ammonia formation.
